“Preventing Split Ends” was my favorite tutorial because I have really long hair and I tend to pick at my split ends all the time…bad!

I enjoyed the preventing split end the best. I have very long hair and I am trying to donateit, so I want to make sure it is healthy with no split ends!

My favorite video was “Preventing Split Ends” because that is my problem right now! I’ve been growing my hair out for my wedding and my stylist said not to cut it! So it’s been driving me crazy!

Ok. I like the how to prevent split ends, I think she gave a good advice about combing the hair with a big comb.

My favorite was the Healthy-Hair Foundations video – I didn’t think to brush my hair before shampooing to help my hair.

Please enter me in the giveaway. My favorite was Simple & Fast Hairstyles. I’m always looking for something different to do with my hair. I also like to do things as the title suggests simple & fast. I’ve always loved Dove soap so I’m sure I’ll feel the same about these products. I’ve gotten best results from store brands so I’m anxious to try these. Thank you.

Weird. I used to intern for Nina at her old P.R. company. She is a very nice lady, glad to see she’s doing well.

Have to say “Preventing Split Ends: was the most informative, I’m full of them at this time of year.

Deep Conditioning, because it’s true, nobody wants to spend the time and money to get deep conditioning salon treatments. It seems weird to use the deep conditioning thing as an everyday conditioner though…
